Avatar
amanico
Compared to the two former stages, this third is maybe the one which took me a lot of time in thoughts, research and work. The car as I took delivery of it, in November 2020 : Indeed, while the first stage was the most evident, as it focused on the weight and chassis plus rims, the second stage was the base for my reflexions, with a work on the exhaust, the dynamic admission and the ventilators, which are the preliminaries for the improvements I will show you right now. The first technical changes on the ... ...">Story
